This weekend, Gawker pal Anthony Scaramucci was in Park City, Utah, trying to raise money for Donald Trump by warning Romney Republicans that if they don’t support their party’s presumptive nominee they might end up with Gary Busey on the Supreme Court.

Teresa Giudice, Real Housewives of New Jersey star and proven finance wizard, has been tapped as a cast member for the next season of Donald Trump's chief source of income, Celebrity Apprentice.

Television character Donald Trump, as expected, has ended his fake consideration of the presidency just as his program the Celebrity Apprentice is winding down for the spring — and getting renewed for another season, as it was this morning.

In the wake of any gigantic news story, like the death of Osama bin Laden, there are a million other little news stories that don't get nearly enough attention, starve to death, and then wash up on shore with all the other forgotten driftwood. Here are some that got screwed today.

you ever have a sense of déjà vu when watching reality TV? Like when a show comes back from commercial and you're like, "Wait a minute. Didn't I just see that?" Yeah, you probably did, and it's annoying as all hell. Why must reality producers treat us like imbeciles?

No, Gary Busey is not screaming about pizza on the corner of Broadway and 8th Street because he's having a bad trip. It's for an episode of Celebrity Apprentice. Also on hand: a bunch of other D-listers!

Our heartfelt sympathies are still with Bret Michael's family right now, but on last night's Celebrity Apprentice Bret proved he's a real fighter. How, you ask? By not being afraid of some slight cheating to help his team.

If you like your workout routines to include pelvic thrusts, air guitar, and the occasional mounting-by-a-groupie, then Bret Michaels and his team have just the class for you!

Rock of Love star and Celebrity Apprentice contestant Bret Michaels is currently in critical condition after doctors discovered bleeding near the base of his brain stem. Let's hope for a speedy recovery or The Donald's season is ruined!

Today at Gawker.TV, Family Guy and The Cleveland Show reunite over Loretta's death, Barbara Walters talks cock, the best "Drink Responsibly" alcohol ads, Hoarding: Buried Alive, and the Celebrity Apprentice contestants can't sink a basketball shot to save their lives.

The contestants on the The Celebrity Apprentice are not the most skilled bunch. First we learn that one of them can't use technology. And now we know that none of them can shoot a basketball as well as the Donald.

Just in case you had any doubt that politicians were out of touch, or that Matt Lauer enjoys pointing out people's faults, please enjoy Exhibit A.

Rod Blagojevich may not think so, but he was a bad governor. Luckily, he is entirely self-aware when it comes to how badly he is in need of a computer tutorial. Lesson one? Turning the darn thing on.

Rod Blagojevich is a name few around the country tend to forget—especially in Illinois. But for one special young woman on the streets of New York—a state he has had no hand in ruining—he'll always be Donny.

Are you sick of Twitter yet? Probably! But if not, wait patiently because the spunky little messaging service is teaming with a group of Hollywood geniuses to bring you an "unscripted show" that would "harness Twitter to put players on the trail of celebrities in an interactive, competitive format." Yeah.
